The King on the Cross - Part 1
July 31, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 27:27–66
It’s really impossible to put into words the impact the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and His resurrection have had on the world. It is the single most important event in human history. Lloyd will offer some thoughts on this scene today as we look at the crucifixion.
The Trials and Suffering of Jesus - Part 2
July 30, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 26:57—27:26
As we near the climax of our Lord's earthly ministry, Pastor Lloyd Pulley will have us consider the trials and suffering Jesus endured as He neared the time when He would fulfill His great purpose for coming to the earth - a price that was paid on our behalf by a loving savior nearly two thousand years ago on a hill called Calvary.
The Trials and Suffering of Jesus - Part 1
July 29, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 26:57—27:26
We are going to again consider an important question today: What will you do about Jesus Christ? Now, as Pastor Lloyd has mentioned many times in our series through Matthew, there is no middle ground when it comes to Jesus. You are either for Him or against Him. Too many people think they can have it both ways - live a sinful lifestyle and still serve God.
The Beginning of the Passion of Our Lord - Part 2
July 26, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 26:36–55
Today as we continue our series in Matthew, Pastor Lloyd will share from chapter twenty six, and the betrayal and arrest of Jesus. There are several key points to consider in this account. The whole thing was illegal under existing law, yet no one cared to challenge the authorities. Jesus could have put an end to the whole debacle in a split second, because He is God. But instead, we see the injustice go forward.
The Beginning of the Passion of Our Lord - Part 1
July 25, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 26:36–55
We’re in Matthew chapter twenty six, which means we’re nearing the end of Jesus Christ’s earthly ministry. Today we’ll look at the Lord and His disciples in the garden of Gethsemene. This passage points out in a beautiful way, the Deity of Jesus, and at the same time, His humanity. Being God, He could have certainly put an end to these events we read about here - His arrest, His trial, His crucifixion. But instead, He prayed.
Plots and Passion Predicted by Jesus at Passover - Part 2
July 24, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 26:1–35
Today on Bridging the Gap, Pastor Lloyd Pulley continues our verse by verse study of Matthew with a look at chapter twenty six, verses one through thirty-five. The Passover and the Lord’s supper are the main events here, but the great truth must once again be repeated - Jesus knew what was in store for Him, yet He went along willingly, because of His great love for us.
Plots and Passion Predicted by Jesus at Passover - Part 1
July 23, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 26:1–35
We are nearing the end of our journey through Matthew, and today, as we begin a study in chapter twenty-six, we come face to face with the impending crucifixion of Jesus Christ. What a glorious and loving savior we have. He knew He was about to suffer an indignant and painful death, and yet He gave Himself WILLINGLY!
The Coming Judgment - Part 2
July 22, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 25:31–46
There are those who actually say that there is no literal “hell”, and there are also a number of self-proclaimed “Christian” teachers who say you can decide you don’t like it when you get there, and leave! The words of Jesus here in Matthew twenty-five should put an end, once and for all, to any notion you might have that hell is not real.
The Coming Judgment - Part 1
July 19, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 25:31–46
Today Lloyd will look at the so-called seven woes found in Matthew chapter twenty-three. Do you know anyone who enjoys being told what to do? I sure don’t, and really, none of us likes being subject to authority. But it’s a good thing we have authorities in our lives, or else we’d have a big mess on our hands. Parameters in our lives can actually be a real blessing and trying to ignore those parameters can cause a lot of woes, as we’ll see today in our study.
Seven Powerful Illustrations of Jesus' Coming! - Part 2
July 18, 2019 • Pastor Lloyd Pulley • Matthew 24:32—25:30
In the days when Jesus walked the earth, there were many occasions when people found themselves in His company. In Matthew twenty-two, there were three groups of men called The Pharisees, The Sadducees and the Scribes, and they all chose the occasion of an encounter with the Lord to question Him about certain laws. They were looking for any opportunity to catch Jesus giving a wrong answer.
